A great question! I wonder whether the LH dominance is related more to our conditioning by the cultural norms of society. In modern day society we are more likely to “reward” those who can “do” things and make things which we believe will improve society and so make us happier. (Even though they may not). As modern society praises those who succeed, in these areas, we, since we are infants become accustomed to hearing LH activities being praised and RH competencies diminished. Perhaps, therefore, to have society society move more to RH control we (only 😁) need to encourage and reward the 4 pillars that Iain speaks of; goodness, truth, beauty and the sacred.

Hi. I just joined this group. Could someone please help me to find Iain’s discussion on the problem of organisations being driven only bymeasurement, by numbers, by the left hemisphere. I have read it or heard it, and want to quote his words in an lettter I am writing. From memory, his thesis is that by ignoring or minimising the right hemisphere approach, we lose out on empathy, caring, collective intelligence, “divine intervention” and creativity. The organisation can becomes less human. Indeed it is likely to wither and die. Any quotes directly from his books or videos would be appreciated. Des

PS perhaps there is a better place to post this?
